Ideas Review


Hey Folks!

 

Sorry for the silence over the past couple with the Ideas Review - we've had a busy few months having our annual Rock Star Jam where we flew out our top Community Rock Stars to check out the office in New York. 

 

Interested in what it takes to be a Rock Star? Just click here.

 

Now let's check out the latest updates...

 

IMPLEMENTED:

1. Android Widget

We’re excited to let you know the Android Widget is back. To get listening, make sure you’re on the latest version of the app and Spotify will show in the widget menu on your device.

 

The widget is now resizable and some stability issues have been fixed. 

 

2. Screen always on Option when driving

3. Compatibility with Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music

4. Folders for playlists in the Web Player

5. Share Spotify on Snapchat

6 . Adding indivdual Podcasts to Playlists

 

GOOD IDEA:

7. Friendship Playlists

 

Thanks for adding your vote to this idea. We're marking this as a 'Good Idea'!

 

As a heads up, Family Mix is available to users on the Premium Family. It's a playlist that combines the music you and other members on your plan listen to. 

 

8. Voice Control

9. Bring Back Mobile Playlist Sorting/Searching

10. Music Videos

 

CASE CLOSED:

11. Remove specific Artists from Discover Page

 

Whilst it's not possible to remove an artist directly from your Home page, there are several ways to give feedback to the app that you don't like certain Songs or Artists. 

 

- In your Discover Weekly, Release Radar and Daily Mix playlists you can click the 'Hide' button and select either 'Don't play this song' or 'Don't play this artist'.

 

- You can head direct to an Artist Page, click the three dots and select 'Don't Play This'.

 

12. Music sharing with people nearby

 

 

 

 

NOT RIGHT
NOW:

13. Alphabet scroll bar

 

The A-Z scroll bar is back on iOS, under the Artist tab on Your Library. 

 

We can see that there are users requesting this feature on Android too. We'll keep the status as 'Not Right Now', so you can keep adding your votes. 

 

14. Show own Cover Art of shared Playlist

15. View & Shuffle all Tracks in Playlist Folders

16. Remove individual track from saved album

17. Songs changes in OSX Notifications

18. Spotify for KaiOS

19. Support Crossfade on Spotify Connect

20. Personal Song Counter

21. Ability to search within all playlists

22. TV Shows & Movies

 

 

We thrive on Ideas

 

We're actively bringing your comments and feedback to the teams here so they know which features are important to you. If you've got a good idea, you can submit it here.

Two factor authentication? Still being considered fo rover a year?

Why is Spotify trying to create a social media platform for listening to music?  What happened to having a simple library where I can send songs/artists/albums that I enjoy via a save button? Now I have to follow/heart these things?  This is absurd to me and you are just overcomplicating a simple system that worked great for everyone.  All I want is a simple A-Z songs library to shuffle. No likes. No follows. No BS. If I like a song I should be able to save it and be done instead of this heart this, follow that, never find in the hundreds of useless playlists nonsense!!!  Change it back and stop messing with things that have worked for years!

I have a suggestion for Spotify to help people that make podcasts, as a person with a podcast on Spotify I think it would be nice to be able to see an artist page to edit or change the podcast page.

Hi guys!

Great changes all over. Just one question:

 

If the Spotify fo kaiOS is on the top 3 most voted entries out of all of these. Why you keep doing nothing?

 

We all understand developing an app takes long. Nonetheless, allowing the WebApp for kaiOS users could be a meanwhile solution.

 

So far, you have not mentioned any progress on this topic. Could you please maintain us updated about it? Is this a project within your scope?

 

THANK YOU! Spotify is a great app we all love. Will be great to have it on over 100 million kaiOS devices.
